# CLI commands

> Reference for the `seb` command-line tool.

Most `seb` commands run inside a directory linked to a Hideout project via `seb connect`.

## `seb chat`

Chat with Seb, the AI coding agent. Scoped to whichever Hideout project the current directory is linked to. Supports [slash commands](/reference/slash-commands).

```bash theme={null}
seb chat
```

<Tip>
  Paste an image into the prompt with `Ctrl+V` (a scope capture, board photo, or error screen) — it attaches as an `[Image #1]` placeholder Seb can see. Delete the placeholder to drop the attachment.
</Tip>

## `seb connect`

Authenticate the CLI with your Hideout account and link the current directory to a project.

```bash theme={null}
seb connect
```

What it does:

Stays running in the background to serve hardware bridges back to Platform's Testing page and let agents reach attached hardware — leave the terminal open while you want it live.

Run once per machine + per repo. Persists across reboots if started with `seb connect --service` (where supported).

<Note>
  You don't need to run `seb connect` for everything — only for the steps that require it (test benches on real hardware, and the CLI review loop). Platform works on its own.
</Note>

## `seb update`

Update the Seb CLI to the latest released version.

```bash theme={null}
seb update
```

## `seb --version`

Print the installed version.

```bash theme={null}
seb --version
```
